Maybe the problem was a poor quality install? Sure beats all the

Constant cleaning of the track, reepeated 'replace the rollers' fun,

Yep, properly installed.

If you had a properly installed Anderson sliding doors, you should of
had minimal problems, even if they are 30 yrs old.

The room that you built might have settled over the opening causing
problems.

Where did I say I was "in love with them"? I'm simply posting my
knowledge of them after many yrs in the glass business.

What I don't understand is why you are paying $1,200.00 for a standard
door. You could buy a damn nice set of French doors for that much
money.
